Just some annoying junk calls from spammy people and scammers, nothing more.

Tried ringing back but there was no option to leave a voicemail. Seems dodgy, maybe a nuisance call or some kind of scam. I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.

If you’ve been getting a call from Jeeves Computer Repair in Leighton Buzzard, it’s probably them returning a call or maybe someone else’s number has been spoofed. So, if you’re wondering why they called you, that’s likely the reason. No need to worry, it’s totally safe.

Got a call from an unfamiliar number but they never bothered to leave a message. So I decided not to ring back.

Spoke to a really unpleasant woman who looked like she hadn’t bothered with a shave or even brushing her teeth.

Got a call from someone saying they were with Vodafone, but the accent was proper hard to understand. He started going on about how my service was gonna be cut off unless I gave him my passwords or whatever. I didn’t buy it and called him out straight away, then he just ended the call. Bit dodgy if you ask me.

Somebody rang up the shop I’m at, trying to pull a scam on us.

Honestly, I just ignore any calls from unfamiliar numbers. Saves you all the hassle, really!

Kept ringin' me loads but I didn’t pick up since I was out. When I phoned back, I quickly figured out it was some scammer.

Got a text from UK gov about signing up for their air quality alerts. Just confirming I’m on their list now. Pretty handy to get updates straight to my phone.

I keep gettin called from similar numbers, they just swap out the final three digits. I always just block them now, like 020394xxx, no point of botherin with em.

They say they're RingGo but it's odd a proper company would be texting me on iMessage. Seems a bit suspicious to me.

Got a call and a message was left on my answerphone about a suspicious charge of £599.99 through Stripe. They said if I didn’t make the transaction to press one, else just ignore the message and everything would be sorted soon. They called it the “Prevention line” or something like that.

Trying to ring back numbers you don’t recognise is nearly as daft as giving out your bank details to scammers. If you get a dead line or message saying number unobtainable, no harm done. But if it connects, you might end up calling an expensive premium rate line abroad without realising. Even worse, your number could get flagged as easy pickings for future fraud. If you do end up chatting to a con artist, they might record you and use AI to copy your voice (search ‘voice cloning scams’). Sometimes those bogus numbers scammers throw out randomly actually belong to honest people by coincidence. Calling them back can just annoy or upset them, and your number might get bunged on this site or reported by texting 7726 as spam. Worth looking into what ‘7726’ means!

I got a call but there was no sound, just silence. Feels like it could be one of those AI voice grabbers or something dodgy like that.

Got a text from a strange number saying "Hi is Adam". Sounds dodgy to me, so I didn’t reply. Better be safe than sorry with these unknowns.

Got a missed call from this number around 9:30 in the evening. Left a robotic voicemail about a supposed payment of over £300 and that if I didn’t press 1, it’d go through. Couldn’t find any info on the number, so I rang back. An Indian bloke picked up and said he'd accidentally dialled me, but then wanted my name which I didn’t give him. Definitely lookin’ like a scam or some kind of fraud. Watch out if you decide to call back – don’t say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ or anything that might be recorded and used against you later.

Got a call from a scammer yet again, didn’t bother picking up.

I let this one go straight to voicemail since it popped up as a possible spam call. Decided to check the number out here and, yep, it's someone from Sky!

They said they were from EE broadband. I’m actually with EE myself, and I’d have thought the caller ID would show it was EE calling. Seems dodgy to me, probably a scam.

Got a call from a number but no voicemail left. Another missed call with no message again. Yet again, missed call, still no message to explain.

I got a message from a number I didn’t know. When I asked who it was, they said a woman’s name and claimed I’d called her first and this was a return call. Thing is, my number is brand new and hardly anyone’s got it yet. Feels like one of those romance scams to me.

Got a call from a young woman, sounded really young, asked if I could add her to WhatsApp. Definitely felt like a scam incoming!

They kept insisting it was my sister on the line, but it really wasn't.

They rang me back to back, but I just ignored both calls.
